After the blandness of Rompin' & Stompin', Rock the Night fared considerably better. This was due in part to having fellow veteran musicians such as Carr and Porter, who are "as wild as Walker, but less wayward."[2] The "tethering" of Walker by the others leads to some fun moments.[2] That doesn't mean that they performed flawlessly, though, since reviewer Chris Smith comments how "Hide Way" "has so many wrong notes that it's almost a new composition" and that other songs also get "a thorough mauling."[2]
